Windows 10: Pc Shuts off after five minutes of use

I have been having this problem with my pc where after I turn it on, I can only use it for around five minutes, then for some reason, I can hear the fans slow down, and when they have nearly stopped, the whole pc display shuts off. This has happened to me twice in a single day, I haven’t used it in 2 months in fear that I would damage it more, but I want to start using it again, what can I do?

windows will shut down in less than a minute

I'm referring only to fast shutdown tweaks under Step 13 of the linked tutorial.

Note 13. Speed Up Windows Shut Down Time You can set and adjust the AutoEndTasks, HungAppTimeout, WaitToKillAppTimeout, and/or WaitToKillServiceTimeout values for how long Windows waits for hung programs and other programs to save data and close before shutting down. I'm not suggesting anything else relating to fast startup or whatever. Those Step 13 tweaks don't affect reboot or updates. Example: Improve startup & shutdown using registry settings

I suggest the following simple steps:

1. Set the autosave options in MS Office to a low value say 5 minutes.
2. Setup file history to autosave frequently - the shortest period is 5 mins
3. Install Macrium Reflect Free and configure it to do a daily incremental system backup

You should be well covered if you do the above to protect your key files.
